John was the consummate quality professional and the perfect person to be Social Responsibility Chair for the Automotive Division. He was kind, smart and was one of the few that truly cared. John was a friend. John loved everyone; especially his family and pets. I don’t know anybody that did not enjoy being around him. He will truly be missed. I would bet a lot of money he has already caught up with Deming, Juran and Shainin and taught his first six sigma class and I am certain he is resting in peace. .
